Attitude and heading reference system (AHRS)

« Back to Glossary Index

AHRS definition:

The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) is a highly reliable and accurate system that replaces traditional mechanical gyroscopic flight instruments in aircraft. The AHRS is composed of three-axis sensors that provide critical information about the aircraft’s heading, attitude, and yaw. It uses advanced technology to accurately detect even the slightest changes in the aircraft’s orientation and translate the data into useful information for pilots. Unlike traditional gyroscopes, AHRS sensors are not affected by environmental factors such as temperature and can operate in various conditions. The AHRS is essential for modern aircraft navigation systems and provides pilots with critical data necessary for safe and efficient flight.
